let go and let God

Trust divine providence

Let go and let God is a phrase encouraging surrender of control to a higher power, especially popular in twelve-step recovery programs.

The idea is to stop struggling against circumstances you can't change and trust that God or the universe will handle things: I've done everything I can—now I just need to let go and let God.
